The Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, has reacted to a claim that President Bola Tinubu is an asset of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
The claim was made by investigative journalist David Hundeyin, who shared documents to back his allegations.
Hundeyin shared the allegations on X, while stating that the revelation came to light after the CIA, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Drug Enforcement Administration “filed a memorandum opposing our motion for summary judgment in the FOIA disclosure case about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s drug trafficking investigation records.”
He said the CIA filing effectively confirmed
that “Nigeria’s sitting president is an active
CIA asset.”
This claim caused “Tinubu is CIA” to trend on X/Twitter.
Hundeyin claimed the United States’ law enforcement agencies have insisted Nigerians “have no right” to unfiltered access to President Bola Tinubu’s past records.
The position was stated in a memorandum filed by the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Drug Enforcement Administration before the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, which renowned journalist, David Hundeyin, shared on Twitter on Tuesday night, Nov. 12.
Reacting, Olusegun Dada rubbished the allegations against his principal.
Recall that last year, the court declined an emergency application seeking to compel top US law enforcement agencies to hasten the release of confidential information on President Bola Tinubu.
